Customer Ratings & Reviews

I like tilt-able LCD and it's big characters. I like the idea of the light for an incoming call, although it is too dim unless you happen to be focused on the phone which is at a 90 degree angle from my desk, so when the ringer (which is not loud enough even at Max setting) emits it's feeble sound I have to focus on the phone as in "is that thing ringing" to see if the incoming call light is really illuminated. The ringer has far less volume than any of my other standard phones. Aside from that, you supposedly can save numbers with labels to the "Directory" but there seems to be no way to have a label with a space in the name. I for example had and incoming call which was labelled in the call log as "800 [space]Service", but when I try to edit that name to something more descriptive which contains a space such as "Fraud[space]Protection" it seems to be impossible. While it does have Caller ID and Call Waiting ID, it does not have any indication of a Missed Call short of going though the Call Log manually. Even my old Radio Shack Talking Caller ID box would have a flashing red light if you has missed a call, and it would seem that it would have been easy enough to make the Incoming Call light on this thing also flash to alert you that you had missed an incoming call so that you would know that you need to check the call log. One feature I do like, which isn't mentioned in the woefully inadequate user guide, and I learned about only from another user's review is that you can dial the number without picking up the handset and see that the number is correct and then when you pick up the handset it will automatically dial that number. I also like the adjustable call volume and the Audio Assist while in a call that increases the clarity... I haven't needed to use that, but it a nice idea. Also when the power goes out, which lately has been frequent, it loses all the settings like date and time, which seems strange since it is battery powered.. maybe the power from the phone line is going out with the electrical power, but even if that is so, it would seem the batteries in the phone should make the phone settings remain intact. In short I am disappointed with this purchase and I guess I'll have to look for a standalone caller ID box to know when I have a missed call.

I wanted a corded landline for my home office. This phone is perfect for what I need, and it is very reasonably priced! It doesn't have all of the bells and whistles, but it has everything I wanted -- and more. Yes, it has caller ID, call waiting and speaker phone capability. However, it offers more. You can check the phone numbers of calls you missed (it tells you how many calls you missed), and one feature that I REALLY like is the phone call timer. That is very valuable for me because it offers the most accurate length of time spent on a business call. Although AT&T says that there is an online manual for this phone, I've found the instruction manual for setting up the phone and using the phone's features which comes with the phone to be very understandable and answered my questions.

I bought this phone for my elderly Mother. The caller ID screen and the numbers are very large. I also like that you can program the phone numbers in and it's easy to use....

Bought this phone for my 89 year old dad. He can hear well and talk through the speaker. The push button numbers are big and lights up. Caller ID allows him to screen his calls before answering and many other features.

Good phone. Just what I was looking for in a landline phone. Caller I.D. and large numerals. Speaker phone button is good when having to write and talk! I had to buy batteries, but needed for caller I.D. Dollar Tree had them for $1.00. All in all I have been very pleased with this phone. I would recommend it for anyone that needs a simple landline phone. Thanks,

This phone really is easy to see the caller id. We use it as a wall phone and when it rings it has a good sound and the back drop on the caller id is big and bold. When the phone was down on the counter before we mounted it, it was a little harder to see. It is very easy to hear with it too. The speaker is great also.

love the big button and caller ID features. ease of use and very stylish. great price

Good phone , if you just need a house phone. The numbers are bold and the screen is bright.

This old fashion telephone with caller ID is perfect for s oldies! The Caller ID is large and easy to see!

I brought it for my sister who can't see small numbers. She like the big numbers and speakerphone works just fine according to her. It's also easy for her youngest son to use.

I bought this for my father and he loves it. It sounds so clear on the receiver end. And the numbers are the perfect size he doesn’t struggle to make phone calls anymore. It’s perfect

A simple, traditional, ordinary, corded, touch tone, single line desk phone. Majority of the phones have built in digital answering machines and I wasn't looking for that. This fits the bill. Large buttons, huge display. Terrific sound quality. Has volume control. Shows the current date and time. Shows the length of time for a call. Works on AA batteries. The handset is uncomfortable if you have to hold it between the ear and shoulder to free up your hand. Otherwise, it's an excellent basic phone without tons of unnecessary bells and whistles.

Love this phone. The display is large, has speaker, speed dial, directory, call log, etc. The only thing it lacks is a light when it is off the hook.

This phone performs very well. The large buttons are very helpful and the phone has all the features I need. The only negative is that the display is not backlit.

I chose this model over all other Best Buy landline phones for the large CallerID display numbers --- easier to read at a distance. I was a little disappointed that it didn't have a AC powered backlight, so without a properly placed external light, the display is much less contrast than in the illustration. The handset is comfortable, far better during a long phone call, than holding a standard glass rectangle iPhone up to the ear. Good hooks for hanging onto standard drywall screws in the wall --- the slot starts wide and narrows to the final position, easier to accomplish than with other phones which have a hole instead of a slot, and then an undersized final hole for a standard phone. Finally, the large buttons are easy to see and use in dim light.

I love the big display and buttons and the fact that I can use the speaker and not have to set and hold the receiver while I talk.

last phone went bad due to electrical storm. Replaced it with a like model from the last. Don't have to worry where the hand set is....

Glad I selected this phone. It has all the features that I need. I purchased it to replace a worn out phone of 30 years. I hope this one will last half that long. The features were easy to set up and easy to use. The price was a real bonus compared to many others I reviewed. I did have to purchase a longer handset cord since the one it came with was barely 24 inches (not very useful for a wall phone)

Getting accustomed once again to a phone with wires was strange. there were also new buttons and new sounds. It's also strange to need to stay within the range allowed by the length of the phone's cord. The phone was a good price and the phone's black fits well in the living room. Besides the price the convenience of being able to park the phone on my shoulder is pretty nice as well. I should also add that the sound is clear either as through the receiver or the speakerphone.

This phone replaced an old one we had for years. It has large dialing buttons for ease in dialing, and a big display screen for caller ID, # dialed, date and time information. The only negative is that there is no hold button, but that can be overcome by using the mute button and not hanging up the receiver. We knew about the lack of a hold button, but decide to buy this unit over a more expensive one, and it was worth it.
